No. I'm pretty sure coffee took over about 230 years ago when the British imposed a Tea Tax on Colonial America.

It's actually copyrighted in 1982; won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984.

I think we're really onto something.

Bollocks. At the time, it was absolutely THE most talked-about thing going. The first season was a cultural phenomenon. People held viewing parties complete with donuts, cherry pie and, yes, coffee. Lynch, Laura Palmer (dead) and Truman/Cooper all made it to the cover of Time magazine (on separate covers). Every morning-after news or entertainment tv or radio show would be analyzing the previous night's episode, etc.

The show influenced a lot of things, most significantly American television, for years to come.
